It's too soon
I'm so tired
leave me be.
its too late
I'm exausted
let me sleep
now I can't
sleep
I'm so tired
but I can't
sleep
I'm staring
at the wall
willing the
sleep to
come but
stuck on
this side
of that wall
on this side
without
dreams and a
nice soft
oblivion to
fall into
sleep
I'm so tired

by telling us to scream
whether out of panic, danger
or to awake from a dream
If the body does not allow
if the scream is kept inside
if its silent, in your head
it then becomes, the worst kind
You see, no one can hear it
or come to your aid
Which is what screams are for
why they escape.
But left pent up
it sounds louder in your head
then a meltdown begins
and fills you with dread.
So silently you scream,
for anyone, or release
Before the blackness sets in
